“We are exited about the continued uptake of the Repatron service,” says Peter Pawlus, President of IntraWerks, Inc. “We have been told several times now that our offering is removing the 2 main barriers to sales agencies having their own websites...affordability and ...we need to be out selling & growing our business for our lines...not messing with web sites. We are lucky to work with sales agencies that get it. We are able to produce professional sales agency websites that are affordable and easy to update...in a very rapid timeframe. Because we use the Google platform, all the websites are also instantly compatible with mobile devices like iPads and smartphones. No one is innovating better or faster than Google.”
“These are not build it yourself static templates that are tossed at the reps. All Repatron websites are customized and built out for the reps from our learned domain expertise and the rep/sales agencies’ input. No sales agency has any time. Every agency we work with is busy growing their business. We make it easy for the sales agency. While there are re-used web components to keep the service affordable, each site has a unique look and feel to reflect the sales agency’s professionalism and brand. One of the lessons I learned while I worked at Google was to “launch fast...and then improve/reiterate...realizing you are never really finished.” Several reps have told us they have picked up better lines to represent because of their Repatron-powered websites. Our service also includes updating the sites with our brand news clipping service. The news clipping service coupled with the Repatron shared dealer-only brand resources keeps the sites fresh.”
“At this point, every rep/sales agency should have a website. That is the new minimum in the industry. You then step above your peers when you add dealer support functionality to an already professional branding website. If done properly with a service like Repatron, it adds a new level of professionalism to reps and sales agencies and provides a higher level of value-add for their retailer customers. Repatron provides an easy to update system that allows reps to better support their retailers with online brand resources when the retailers need them...immediately. Every feature in Repatron solves a problem that a rep agency has told us they have....so they can Sell More, Fumble Less.”
Core Repatron service features include:
. Customized look and feel for your sales agency web site. Your brand email addresses as well as agency shared calendar and documents.
. Dealer only area that allows dealers access to their authorized lines but not others.
. A first of it’s kind brand specific shared resources center where brand resources are shared with reps that are contracted to represent a particular brand. This allows collective freshness.

Sarasota, FL- On the eve of Interbike 2010, IntraWerks, Inc. officially launches their Repatron offering, an innovative Independent Rep/Sales Agency Web Service harnessing the power of Google Technology. After several service upgrades and an initial silent launch, IntraWerks has developed a world-class Sales Agency Web Service to make it easy and affordable for sales agencies and independent reps in the outdoor sports industry to professionally present themselves and their service offerings to manufacturers but even more importantly, better support their retailer partners.
“This truly was an accidental product,” says Peter Pawlus, President of IntraWerks, Inc., an Ex-Google company located in Sarasota, FL. “The idea was born out of a chance meeting we had with Bill Kendall at Interbike 2009. At IntraWerks, we’re all hard core cyclists, some with bicycle retail backgrounds, so we thought it would be great to invest in a bike retail studio sharing space with our software studio. A little coding, a bunch of cycling, etc. While we were shopping at Interbike 2009 for bike products for the cycling studio, we met Bill from Kendall Outdoors. At the time, he had an old comcast.net email and no website for his sales agency...so we gave him some quick Google get it going advice...and went back to looking for bike products. Three months later, Bill gave us a call asking for help in putting all the pieces together for his dealer support website using Google services...and Repatron was born. While I worked at Google, I learned that any web service needs to be affordable, fast, dependable and easy to use/update. Using the Google technology that is available today and down the line...we can meet that need.” Bill’s site is now state of the art.
Every rep that has walked through the door at the bike studio to sell us bike product has signed up for the Repatron service. We’re quickly approaching several dozen sales agencies and it has been entirely word of mouth (rep to rep). The Repatron service has also been improved and enhanced based on how reps are using it and how they want to support their dealers. With few exceptions, everything has been included in the Repatron offering. Several agencies have announced their new Repatron dealer support / branding websites at OR and EORA events so we thought it would be good to announce the general availability of the Repatron service offering on the eve of Interbike 2010.
All the sites include a fully interactive branded website that allows valuable back office support to retailers as well as information about your agency geared to current and future desired brands. Repatron’s secure dealer only access and dealer resources section allows dealers to download the latest brand-specific price sheets, order forms, sales sheets, product specs and lifestyle images specific to the brands they are authorized to sell by the rep. This saves both the rep and dealer valuable time. The Repatron service is currently available for an introductory price of $610 for single rep agencies with no long term contracts. The Repatron for Multi-rep agencies is available for an additional $50 per named rep. Visit www.intrawerks.com/repatron for further details.
Additional Repatron service features include:
. Customized look and feel for your sales agency web site. Your brand email addresses as well as agency shared calendar, documents and basic contact sharing.
. Dealer only area that allows dealers access to their authorized lines but not others.
. A first of it’s kind brand specific shared resources center where brand resources are shared with reps that are contracted to represent a particular brand. This allows collective freshness.
. Trade show calendar and scheduler that allows retailers to see available scheduling slots for the agency and reserve the necessary time to see the latest products at the show.
. Public invited demo/event calendar.
. News section with the latest happenings in the marketplace for the brands represented.
. Retailer Training section with links to training videos and online courses.
. New Dealer request form - to help pre-qualify new retailers
. NEW Google Voice Integration with your site.
. NEW YouTube Video Integration with your site.
. Support for the iPad as well as iPhone and Android phones.
. 6 months of included real-person Repatron support and updates.
Current sales agency customers include: Kendall Outdoors, Robb Sport Sales, Sports and Specs, Inc., Blackwell Sports, Wasatch Reps, Podium Sales Group, Hardin Outdoors, Skoboatin Outdoors, Outdoor Bound Sports ...
